The unpredictable economic trends coupled with employees‟ aspiration for career progression stimulated the analysis of specific aspects that influence employees‟ retention. This empirical study reveals the impact of compensation and motivation on employees‟ retention in the Public Sector Oil and Gas Selling Organizations. Data was collected through questionnaires from 112 employees of renowed public sector Oil and Gas sellers. The data was analyzed using statistical technique of multiple regression. The results indicate that substantive enhancement in motivation level and practical handling of compensation may yield a correspondingly improvement in employees‟ retention. The study recommends strategies and implications that can help management of Oil and Gas selling organizations in shaping policies and practices.
